In my experience, using<Esc> as the LHS of a map can have disastrous
side effects in terminal vim, up to and including breaking most of the
non-alphanumeric keys on the keyboard (including the arrow keys,
delete, function keys, page keys, mouse selection, mousewheel
scrolling, etc).[...]
This ought not to happen if 'ttimeoutlen' is set to a positive value
significantly smaller than 'timeoutlen' (which is not the default) while
'timeout' is set on (which is the default).
No, it definitely oughtn't, but it does, at least in xterm (the only
terminal I use regularly). I've never seen a terminal where vim can
handle this. Try it yourself. I can give you steps to reproduce, if
you're having trouble reproducing the problem.

In any case, it's bad enough to have so many keycodes starting with Esc,
I definitely don't recommend overloading it with a mapping to boot
(though IIUC modern xterms are supposed to be able send CSI aka 0x9B
instead of Esc [ -- I'm not sure how to make mine do it; version
X.Org6.8.99.903(242), termresponse ^[[>0;242;0c ; but normally I use
gvim, or, less often, Vim in linux or konsole terminals).
Best regards,
Tony.
